“Wonderful Service - thank you!”
Written on: 15/05/2013 by Faye198132
I was originally very wary of taking a paid service to help with my financial difficulties, but as I found myself getting into a deeper hole I knew I needed help to dig myself out. I originally contacted the free debt service - I think it's government or charity based. They made me feel like a criminal and talked down to me. When The Money Group / Harrington Brooks called, my instinct was to back away, but the staff were very friendly, seemed to understand my situation and didn't lecture or... (read more)

“Thank You For Being There”
Written on: 14/05/2013 by Kidscriber (1 review written)
As the title suggests, I am glad you were there. For people like me who tended to think that things would be O.K. if you just ignored them it has been a huge relief to know that although I still have the money to pay back, I will no longer have sleepless nights wondering how I am going to do it. Since agreeing to my re-payment schedule I have been walking on air and a lot happier in myself. I might add that my wife, who is a great worrier, has been a lot happier too. Although it was totally... (read more)

“IVA”
Written on: 14/05/2013 by Memnon (1 review written)

“Just in time”
Written on: 10/05/2013
I recommend HB highly. My previous company were simply letting the charges build up whilst taking my money, which I obviously did not have. I explained all this to HB and as a result of flooding of my house, I had arrived in that position. They took only a few days to sort everything out for me, stop the charges and put together an iva. I feel much more confident about my finances and also that this us a means to an end. (read more)

“Don't Bury Your Head In The Sand”
Written on: 09/05/2013
Like many people I got myself into financial trouble and for a long time I chose to ignore it. Then I was contacted by Harrington Brooks. Signing up with them was the best decision I have made in a long time. A warm yet professional service where everything is explained is easy to understand language, ready to answer any and all questions. On a personal note, when I explained to them, that I have a phobia of talking on the phone, they quickly arranged to contact me via email. It is this... (read more)

“What i thought about Harrington Brooks”
Written on: 08/05/2013 by gavmyster
My dealings with Harrington Brooks are of that they talk to you as a real person and that they can see what you are going through, and then they go through everything step by step to make sure that you understand everything that they are going to do, and since they have taken all of my bills and put them onto one monthly affordable payment it feels as if a great pressure has been lifted, without the worry of having all the threatening letters coming through my door. The thing that i like is... (read more)

After getting myself into a muddle over my finances i contacted harrington brooks to see what they could do for me. They explained my plan of how to get my debts much lower and put my mind at ease. When it came to my first payment which i had decided was going to be £160 for the month my bank took some charges off me and i couldnt afford the payment, so the people at harrington brooks told me to pay just half of it for the time being until i got myself sorted out which was...

I owed 32k, i had a house I didn't want to loose and was stressed to the max, I'd split with my partner and just buried my head in the sand paying £1 per month to each debt. I knew I had to sort it but didn't know where to begin. I contacted the Money Group who took details of what I owed and they passed me onto Harrington Brooks. They rang me and went through details of what I owed, what I needed to pay out per month i.e. food, bills, mortgage, haircuts, clothes, insurance, phone and... (read more)

“Totally Professional Service”
Written on: 30/04/2013 by Wullie1963 (1 review written)
We chose to contact Harrington Brooks after being turned down by the usual high street lenders. Probably the best decision we have made in years. The representatives of this company have explained in precise detail the options available to us to stop the steadily increasing letters and calls. We thought we were managing our finances and a further loan was a good way to resolve our issues but it wasn't. We were completely unaware of the provisions for debt consolidation plans and trust deeds... (read more)
